The location is great, being right in downtown Buckeye. The entrance is a bit wonky since if you enter through one door near the parking lot, you have to walk the entire restaurant to get to the host. The service is OK. It was not very busy when we went, and it took about 5 minutes to get drinks. That seems to be normal, so I wouldn't let this discourage you from trying this place. The food is OK. It is not magical or really any different from other Mexican food establishments, but it is edible. Everything was cooked right. The menu is not huge, but it does have some nice options.

La Placita always serves great food for a great price. GCC is the best. I've been eating here for 50 years and never had a bad meal.

Been eating here for almost 30 years. Order their speciality the RCC (or GCC) with sour cream. Simple dish with exquisite results. In all the places Ive traveled, I still feel the salsa here is the best. It's ambrosia. Sonia & Tony keep the place running efficiently. Ok, that settles it, I am going back there for lunch today.

The food is an imitation of Mexican food, I had the shredded beef enchiladas, and the meat was dry, the enchiladas salsa I’m pretty sure it was from the cans!!! Gross flavor!

Overall, it's was a decent experience. The staff is friendly and always helpings. The only down side is the food. I had the chicken enchiladas and the chicken was dry and the red sauce was plan with no flavor. I had to put chip salsa on them and it was good, but the food needs a small kick and I can see good potential.

3 of us visited LaPlacita which has always been a favorite. Restaurant was not crowded but service was spotty. We had to ask for water 4 times. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas and dinner. When we asked for the bill, the server just announced the amount, no actual bill. We insisted on seeing our bill, the pitcher was $48, and only had 4 drinks in it, if ordering margaritas individually the cost was $8, not $12. All our entrees were higher priced than the menu price, the reason? They raised the prices but hadn't time to get the menus updated. We asked the owner about the $48 pitcher and the menu discrepancies and his answer "Prices increase". So if you want to pay an outrageous price for mediocre food and service La Placita is the place to go!

We have been here in years past & thoroughly enjoyed. I'm not sure what has happened in the past few years, new owners? we began with a drink order. My husband ordered a draft beer, asked if he wanted a 16 or 22 oz., he said 16 oz. I inquired of wine and was to,d they were out of a Ernst but had a red blend or a Chardonnay. I stated I'd have the Chardonnay. Upon arrival, hubby was given the 22 oz. beer & I the red blend vs. Chardonnay. Now for the menu: Hubby loves a good shrimp burrito. He ordered a seafood burrito. when asked if he wanted cheese, he said "no".The burrito came with a white, spicy creamy sauce covering it which is not on the menu. I ordered a chimichanga, which stated it was deep fried - it was not! all in all, upon receiving our receipt, we were charged for extra cheese, extra for the non deep fried chimichanga but caught the waitress before we were charged for the extra large beer. By the way, these giant burritos weren't even good! There was more "filler" in the seafood burrito than seafood. Upon leaving, we spoke to another waitress about our dissatisfaction. She just gave us a blank look. There are many other Mom & Pops in old Buckeye to support - we will check them out. La Placita needs to clean up their act.
Always love our hometown eats. Perfect mother son
